Tho Investigation ordered by the
Board OF Education last night is tax
ing very wide range, and not only
Principal Graham buE the two lady
teachers who brought tbs charges
AgAir him, aud even the com mittees
OF ths High School are to be put upon
the rack and trtei ct the same time.
This course will be perfectly under
stood BY An Intelligent public and yet
there should be no flnching from the
charges that arc msde against Proses.

against Moses Pyle and Hare aud
egAins; the Visiting commitsees. We
use the last In the plural for there are
two OF them running back through two
